Saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2<\/strong> last night. Completely awesome. See\/read what came before or you won’t get it. I think seeing it in “Digital Projection” at the Daly City Century 20 was good, the cinematic effects were just so…. real. 2 weeks after opening, the theater was full, and everyone in the audience was over 30. Curious.<\/p>\n

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button<\/strong> – 3 hours of kinda bland character study with 1 neat twist. Meh.<\/p>\n

Grandma’s Boy<\/strong> – juvenile, funny male humor. I liked it.<\/p>\n

40 Year old Virgin<\/strong> – I was expecting juvenile, funny male humor. There was a bit of that, but it was much better than that. Very enjoyable :-).<\/p>\n

UHF<\/strong> – Ouch. Weird Al has learned a LOT about entertaining people after this film<\/p>\n

Anvil! The Story of Anvil<\/strong> – Holy crap, these guys love music. An honest documentary about the real life Spinal Tap.<\/p>\n

Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus<\/strong> – there are 60 seconds of awesome and 2 hours of them poking you in the eyes with a stick. Watch the awesome here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eddie Izzard: Definite Article<\/strong> – stand up show. He completely rocks. You should watch more stand-up. Seriously. Funny.<\/p>\n

The Passion of Joan of Arc<\/strong> – I always thought I was missing out on something awesome by not seeing this 1928 “classic”. I watched most of it and completely couldn’t get through it. I totally don’t get why this is a classic.<\/p>\n

City of Angels<\/strong> – Started pretty good, went way downhill. :-(<\/p>\n

Demetri Martin. Person<\/strong>. – Funny stand up is always funny and puts me in a good mood. I like funny standup.<\/p>\n

The Gates<\/strong> – the story of Christo and Jeanne-Claude installing The Gates in New York City. Good stuff. It’s amazing how much perseverance it took them to get this piece to happen. Pretty awesome. But then I like big awesome art.<\/p>\n

Iron Man<\/strong> 2 – Wee!<\/p>\n

High Fidelity<\/strong> – Certainly classic John Cusack.<\/p>\n

Idiocracy<\/strong> – After all the hype some friends gave it, I though it was going to be as awesome as Zoolander (wow, that is an awesome movie… just earlier this week a friend said offhandedly “Oh, the files are in the<\/strong><\/em> computer!” and I laughed so hard). It isn’t. It has it’s moments, but only a few.<\/p>\n

The Princess Bride<\/strong> – watched again at a house party with friends, brought my holocaust cloak :-). This is still a near perfect movie.<\/p>\n

The Sopranos<\/strong> – I’m most of the way though the last season. What a powerful show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
